Was it about equal driving time vs climbing time? The ice is good!

Thats messed up John...Please don't ever post a picture of me like that again. Your priorities as a climbing partner should be to make me look burley.

nice effin' directional john! and I thought penalty slack was bad

I was out of screws!

Awesome! Just recently, I was wondering if Hyalite has some ice already...

...and here I just thought it was the anchor.

...and i though he'd taken another whipper!

Good thing I actually follow the rules of ice climbing, "one must never fall."

Apparently cc.com is full of comedians!

Oh trust me Kurt, he did...

nice work J!

and what the hell did you fall on?? looks like a big blue dild*

we're just jealous John

Fell onto a 16 cm BD express with an older yates screamer (the blue thing). Was leading on a single 9.1mm (for you super s). It was Craig's so I cant comment on how old it was but I managed to rip half of it in a 10ish foot fall. I think Craig is going to post a pic of it tonight.

You ripped half the Screamer, not half the sheath/rope, right? Sounds invigorating.

Screamer was half ripped (activated). Rope was/is fine.

the mean streak has never seen a second alex was the man for sending that thing sans bolts....and the Big Sleep looks good to go!!!!! Nice work boys

Good to see you guys.

Stop falling on ice Gordo!

See you in a few weeks...

Dang, that looks like a swell area!

They say a pictures is worth a thousand words, but I only heard one word come out of John's mouth when he went airborne.

sweet! i hadn't seen one of those activated before. glad to know they appear to work somewhat!

official start of ice climbing season = john frieh goes to bozeman
